Beer Review: Bell's Consecrator Doppelbock

In the past year or so, Bell's Brewery from Michigan has become one of my favorite US breweries. Though I've only had less than half of the styles they offer, I have had a good variance from their Oberon Wheat to their crazy dark Expedition Stout. Since they've been on my radar, I've been eager to buy any of their offerings that I've yet to try, such as, recently, their Consecrator Doppelbock.

The most striking thing about this beer is its color: a deep dark, burgundy. Other than the beauty of Guinness, I'm usually not blown away by the appearance of beers but this one was up there. The smell was not as strong but as to be expected: sweet malt. The taste matched the smell with some strength along with a caramel, raisin-y (that's not a word) taste with a smooth finish at 8% ABV.

Keep doing what you're doing Bell's.
